Jockey Velazquez Breaks Collarbone in Spill
By Claire Novak,

John Velazquez broke his right collarbone and will require surgery, Churchill Downs officials confirmed June 16, after the 40-year-old rider was injured in a three-horse spill during the ninth race at the Louisville oval.

Velazquez was also undergoing a precautionary CT scan on his back at Audubon Hospital in Louisville and hoped the collarbone could be stabilized enough for the surgery to be performed in New York.
